Centrifugal Force
Do your students ever confuse centripetal force and centrifugal force? Here is a video that addresses exactly that concept. The video uses a tether ball as a demonstration of the various forces at play.
Crash Course
Uniform Circular Motion
Round and round and round you go! Lead the way as your class explores centrifugal force, the fictitious force responsible for an abundance of activities performed by individuals every day. They discuss the correlation between centripetal...
